Dalal Street Investment Journal
|April 04, 2019
Debt funds have often found little presence in investors' portfolios. What investors fail to realise is that debt funds are equally important as they help balance the portfolio.

There are certain debt funds where you can take a position even if your investment horizon is long term.
